Our Mission

A Locally Based, National Movement
People Helping Horses is a locally-based, nationally recognized 501(c)3 Non-Profit organization dedicated to improving human-horse relationships through Education, Rehabilitation, and Support for both Horse-Owners and Professionals. We have organizations across the country enabling local community resources to make the greatest possible impact. The People Helping Horses system will eventually include community-based organizations in every state in the United States. Each operating as an independent, separately incorporated non-profit, and governed by local volunteers.
As the equine community leaders, People Helping Horses brings caring people together to focus on the most important equestrian needs in the local area and mobilize resources beyond the dollars that are pledged through fund-raising.
We do this by building partnerships, gaining consensus, and leveraging resources to make a difference. Focus areas are identified at the local level and vary from community to community.
Local partners include schools, government policy makers, businesses, humane societies, rescue and rehabilitation groups, 4-H and FFA, equine education organizations, and more.
Common focus areas include: educating children and those new to horses, strengthening horse protection regulations, promoting good stewardship of the animals and the land on which they live, therapeutic riding for those
with disabilities, and caring for abused, abandoned, neglected, and other horses in need.
Where Funding Comes From
Primary funding comes from caring people like you. If we each give a little of ourselves, through a small monetary contribution, or by volunteering some of our time, we can improve the quality of life of horses in need.
